Just thought I would see how all of you were feeling.  I know my stomach has been giving me problems lately and I hope it settles down soon.  Feeling tired and cold all the time too.  How are you doing??


Hugs,

Gee, I wonder if this is catchy :)!!!

I have been feeling horrible --- my fissure is back at a level that the pain is just excruciatingand I am not talking when just going to the b/r --- when I stand, etc it bothers me as well.

Yesterday morning I had such abdominal pains --- I had gone to the b/r and after I stopped shaking from the pain, I stood up and the pains were so bad, I crawled back to bed and had to lie there a couple of hours until they started going away.

Everytime I stood up yesterday, it seemed like I would have to go to the b/r. I was afraid to take immodium as it was not really diarrhea and I did not want to stop myself up and make my fissure worse today.

However, today, I ended up taking some immodium because I had to go to school and I was still moving my bowels frequently, but again, not diarrhea --- just very painful/crampy movements along with the pain from my fissure.

I am going to take a couple of colace tonight to make sure that I don't cause myself constipation and make the situation worse.

I hate this fine line that I have to walk between the immodium and the colace.

and that darn horrible horrible pain from that fissure.

Ok --- ive had my venting :)

I am OK- a little stressed because of my midterms at school are this week and then papers are due and I have to write them first! Sunday and Monday was our Thanksgiving. My Dad's dinner Sunday was not comparable to Mum's dinner (she always outdoes herself!). My Dad's wife "snuck" cheese into the dinner, knowing I can't eat it- it's her passive aggressive way of "sticking it to me." I suffered all night. Mum made two batches of perogies, one especially for me with soy cheese. I can eat them now without suffering the consequences of lactose intolerance! Huzzah!

Well, I'm still having loose BM's, about 3 a day. Was having slight just-under-the-surface belly pain, lower right side (unusual for me as my inflamation, and any pain, even gas-related, is usually on the lower left). It's gone today, but was still there durig sex with my BF last night (sorry if that's TMI). In fact, I first noticed it the other night during sex, then it was sort of all the time. Have no idea what it was. I also now have a sore throat and a headache. Bloody wonderful! >:0/ Helen, I'm in MA as well, and I'm pretty sure my cold has something to do with this CRAPtastic weather! Enough already. I'm cold, a bit achy, and have this sore throat, and wish I could just go home (I'm at work....shhhhh!) and crawl into bed!
